...vitriolic press release Jimmy demanded 'that Ickes should be removed, perhaps impeached for his "Arabian adventure"-the proposed Government pipeline across the Middle East (TIME, Feb. 14 et seq.). "In my 38 years in the oil business," Jimmy told reporters, "I have heard nothing but [a U.S. oil] shortage." (He cited a 1920 statement by Jersey's William Parish that there was no more oil in Texas.) Besides, why should "that obstructionist" Ickes spend up to $165,000,000 of the taxpayers' money to promote a strictly commercial operation in the middle...
...Argentina. The group of Army jingoes called "The Colonels," led by Colonel Juan Domingo Peron and nominally headed by President-General Pedro Ramirez, has defied the U.S., the United Nations, its Latin neighbors. Almost certainly "The Colonels" instigated the revolt of Gualberto Villarroel in Bolivia (TIME, Jan. 3., et seq.}. Probably the Argentine junta has plotted similar moves in other countries, will plot again...
Cleveland's Jack & Heintz, the Katzenjammer Kids of U.S. industry (TIME, April 6, 1942, et seq.) were last week playing a new role. Famed for their fantastic bonuses to "associates" (employes), as well as for their bang-up job of turning out plane equipment, they were putting up a noisy fight to hang on to their money. The War Department had ordered their 1942 profits pared by $7,000,000 ($5,250,000 has already been collected in taxes...
Last week the New York Times, with a front-page lead and two pages inside, recognized the Partisans of Yugoslavia (TIME, Dec. 14, 1942, et seq.). In Cairo, where Correspondent C. L. Sulzberger filed the epic dispatch, once-hostile British censors passed a flood of encomiums to the Partisans, to their commander, Marshal Josip Broz ("Tito"), and to a party of Partisan officers who had come to Egypt. One booster even spread the report that Marshal Broz's favorite books are War & Peace and Pickwick Papers...
Earlier reports that General Marshall would be assigned that supreme field command were not baseless (TIME, Sept. 27 et seq.). The U.S. Chief of Staff has long been the leading advocate of a cross-Channel invasion; he has long wanted to serve in the field as a tactician; and before the Teheran meeting, Washington and London were convinced that his appointment was all set. President Roosevelt had seriously considered able General Marshall for the invasion job. But he had excellent reasons for finally agreeing to keep the Chief of Staff at his vital post in Washington...
